OnLogic Drift

At onlogic-drift, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information about you when you interact with our mobile game development tools and services. We're based in Australia and comply with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988.

Look, privacy policies can be dry. But this stuff matters, especially when you're building games and sharing creative work. We've tried to keep this straightforward.

What Information We Collect

When you use our development tools or visit our website, we gather different types of information. Some of it you give us directly. Other bits we collect automatically as you interact with our systems.

Information You Provide

Your name, email address, and phone number when you create an account or reach out to us
Business details if you're registering as a studio or educational institution
Payment information when you purchase tools or services (processed through secure third-party payment processors)
Project data and files you upload to our development platforms
Feedback, support requests, and any other messages you send our way

Information We Collect Automatically

Device information like your IP address, browser type, and operating system
Usage data showing how you interact with our tools and which features you use most
Performance metrics that help us understand if our systems are running smoothly
Location data based on your IP address (general region, not precise GPS coordinates)
Cookies and similar tracking technologies to remember your preferences

How We Use Your Information

We're not in the business of selling your data. Everything we collect serves a practical purpose related to providing and improving our services.

Purpose	What This Means
Service Delivery	Running your account, processing transactions, delivering the tools and features you've signed up for
Communication	Sending you important updates about your account, responding to your questions, sharing relevant educational content
Improvement	Analyzing usage patterns to fix bugs, add requested features, and make our tools more useful
Security	Detecting fraud, preventing abuse, protecting your data and our systems from threats
Legal Compliance	Meeting our obligations under Australian law and resolving disputes when necessary

We sometimes analyze aggregated, anonymized data to understand broader trends in game development. But this never includes personally identifiable information.

Sharing Your Information

We don't hand over your personal information to random third parties. When we do share data, it's limited and purposeful.

Service Providers

We work with companies that help us run our business. Cloud hosting providers store your data. Payment processors handle transactions. Email services deliver our communications. These partners only access what they need to do their job, and they're contractually bound to protect your information.

Legal Requirements

Sometimes the law requires us to disclose information. This might happen if we receive a valid court order or if disclosure is necessary to prevent serious harm. We'll always assess these requests carefully and only share what's legally required.

Business Transfers

If onlogic-drift is acquired or merges with another company, your information would likely be part of that transaction. We'd notify you beforehand and explain any changes to how your data is handled.

What we don't do: We don't sell your personal information to data brokers or advertisers. We don't share your project files with anyone unless you explicitly give us permission. We don't use your creative work for purposes outside of providing our services.

Your Rights and Choices

Australian privacy law gives you several rights regarding your personal information. Here's what you can do and how to exercise these rights.

Access Your Information

You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this within 30 days, usually in a structured, commonly used format. There's no charge unless your request is particularly complex or repetitive.

Correct Inaccurate Data

Found something wrong in your account details? You can update most information directly through your account settings. For data you can't change yourself, just get in touch and we'll fix it.

Delete Your Information

You can request deletion of your personal information. We'll comply unless we need to retain certain data for legal reasons like completing transactions or resolving disputes. Account deletion is permanent and we can't recover your data afterward.

Restrict Processing

In some situations, you can ask us to limit how we use your information. This might apply while we're resolving a dispute about data accuracy or if you object to certain processing activities.

Data Portability

You can request your project files and associated data in a portable format. This makes it easier to move your work to another platform if you choose.

Opt Out of Communications

Educational emails and product updates include an unsubscribe link. You can also manage communication preferences in your account settings. Keep in mind we'll still send essential service notifications about your account.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@onlogic-drift.com. We'll verify your identity and respond within 30 days. If we can't fulfill your request, we'll explain why.

Data Security

We protect your information through multiple layers of security measures. But let's be honest—no system is completely impenetrable. We do everything reasonably possible to safeguard your data.

Technical Safeguards

Encryption in transit using TLS protocols for all data transmission
Encryption at rest for sensitive information stored in our databases
Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
Access controls limiting who within our team can view personal information
Automated monitoring for suspicious activity and potential breaches

Organizational Measures

Staff training on data protection and privacy best practices
Clear internal policies governing data access and handling
Incident response procedures if a security issue occurs
Regular backup systems to prevent data loss

If we experience a data breach affecting your personal information, we'll notify you and the relevant authorities as required under Australian law. This notification will include what happened, what data was involved, and what steps we're taking.

Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. After that, retention periods vary based on the type of data and legal requirements.

Typical Retention Periods

Account Information: Retained while your account is active, plus 12 months after closure
Project Files: Deleted 90 days after account closure unless you request earlier deletion
Transaction Records: Kept for 7 years to comply with Australian taxation requirements
Support Communications: Retained for 3 years to reference in future interactions
Usage Analytics: Anonymized and aggregated after 18 months

When we no longer need your data, we either delete it or anonymize it so you can't be identified. Backups are purged according to our standard rotation schedule.

International Data Transfers

Our primary servers are located in Australia. However, some service providers we use operate in other countries, including the United States and Europe. When your data moves across borders, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

These safeguards include standard contractual clauses approved by privacy regulators and ensuring our partners meet adequate data protection standards. Your information receives protection consistent with Australian privacy principles regardless of where it's processed.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to make our website and tools work properly. Some are essential, others help us improve your experience.

Essential Cookies

These keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and make basic features work. You can't opt out of these without losing core functionality.

Analytics Cookies

These help us understand which features people use and where they run into problems. The data is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally. You can disable these through your browser settings.

Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can block all cookies, delete existing ones, or get notified before one is set. Just know that blocking essential cookies will break parts of our website.

Children's Privacy

Our services are designed for adults and professional use in game development education. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If educational institutions use our tools with younger students, the institution is responsible for obtaining appropriate parental consent and managing student data in compliance with applicable laws.

If we discover we've inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we'll delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email or through a prominent notice in our platform.

The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when the current version took effect. Continuing to use our services after changes means you accept the updated policy.

Complaints and Disputes

If you're concerned about how we've handled your personal information, please contact us first. We'll investigate and respond within 30 days.

If you're not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). They're the independent authority overseeing privacy compliance in Australia.

You can reach the OAIC at oaic.gov.au or by calling 1300 363 992.
